General Discussion
Showing Original Post only (View all)I really need to thank Ken Paxton [View all]
I'm teaching landmark Supreme Court cases to my high school government classes right (before we do Final Reviews for next week). And the students are so attentive to the discussion about the evolution of precedents from Roe v Wade to Dobbs v Jackson to the current case against Kate Cox, who Paxton is trying to kill or sexually mutilate (whichever his god of arbitrary pawnsmanship wills).
Of course as a teacher I always make every concerted effort to conceal my biases and only present the relevant facts. But for some reason this particular discussion is really riveting their attention. They seem to think Paxton is acting recklessly with regard to a citizen's life and health and health needs. Although I remain dispassionate, the students seem downright outraged by this use of governmental power and genuinely engaged in the lesson--yes even that devout kid in the front row who was so adamantly pro-life when we discussed ideology alignments last month. So I owe my state's attorney-general a thank you today.
Couldn't have done it without you, Ken.
